[oletrucks] Engine Removal

[Chico Woodhill <chico_woodhill@punkass.com>]

I'm pulling the 235 splasher from my '49 3100 to paint both engine and
firewall. The fenders and radiator are off.  Questions:

How much does the engine weigh?

Where should I connect the hoist chain?

I want to put it into a pickup bed for transit. Should I construct some kind
of mount or bed, or just lay it on its side? Will the oil pan dent if I do
this?

Are there any decent (i.e., cheaper) alternatives to buying an engine stand
for the work? 

Thanks...
